I can certainly help you - I have been doing this for many years, and have excellent references.


I charge ?30/hour if you are local, but the first 20 minutes are free in order for you to decide if I know what I am talking about - and can also help you to understand (so that you will not need me the next time!).


If you prefer, call me on 07973 269654 to discuss (for example, if you need to get files from a PC or another Mac onto your new machine)


Regards

Francis

I would personally question an engineer whom advises other forumites that it's OK to use illegal file sharing sites on a computer that is just as vulnerable to attack as a PC.

Hackers, Virus, Trojans, malware, keyloggers etc play a numbers game. Window users make up the vast majority of computer users, and so are the main focus for attack.

Two answers to 'safe'.

1) If you have an Apple computer, it cannot be damaged by downloading a rogue file. Windows is much more vulnerable.

2) There is a very remote possibility that if you did this a lot, you might receive a warning from your Internet Service Provider.


Note: many ISPs block the main Pirate Bay site (but there are ways around this).


Hope this helps.

      New Local Restaurant Reviews Website

      By David Peckham · Posted

      You clearly like middle-eastern food, so Zaytoon in Peckham is worth a try. It's Lebanese, so grilled meats, fresh fish and really interesting salads. I'd recommend their chickpea and lentil soup as well - I've tried to replicate it myself, it's that good. It's on a couple of levels, but only two or three shallow steps up to the dining area at the back, and once you're up there, you're on the same level as the bathrooms. It's BYO, and no corkage, but do sort yourselves out on your Tesco Club Card for anything half- right before you get down there - the offies opposite have got wise to it now and are charging accordingly. I've eaten there many times, the food is always excellent, the portions are huge (I've never finished). very reasonable and it's got a really laid-back atmosphere. I haven't had to book, but I've seen larger parties in there who maybe did. I really can't see they'd have a issue with it - the staff are very accommodating. I just checked TripAdvisor (5 stars) and one review specifically mentions how much their kids enjoyed it. It's at 94 Rye Lane, open from 11 til 3ish (at the weekends) and is accessible via the 12, 37, 63, 363 and P13 routes.
